Who is Brock Chadwick ?
Brock Chadwick of Biddeford, Maine is a seven-year old boy was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer earlier this year and he’s been fighting it since March. Apparently, Brock is a huge fan of Halloween and his family is asking for everyone’s help to make sure he has a great one this year.
Chadwick previously underwent major surgery for multiple tumors in his head and abnormal spine tissue and was discharged from the Barbara Bush Children’s Hosptial – only to later find out that the cancer had made its way back into his body.
Brock’s mom said that the one thing that takes his mind off of things is getting Halloween cards.
“ It’s been really hard, but he’s a really tough little guy. Ya know, it’s people sending in cards, candy, pictures… he’s totally enjoying it. It’s kind of like Christmas in October. He and his sisters are just overjoyed with everything. It’s so comforting to see that he’s not always hurting.”
In an effort to cheer the brave little guy up, his family has titled this month Brocktober and are opening their mailbox up to anyone and everyone to send him greeting cards. If you’d like to do so, the address is 11 McKenney Drive, Biddeford, ME 04005.
Some of the cards I’ve seen just say something simple like “Happy Brocktober!”
Personally, as someone who has a child and could never imagine something this terrible happening, I’ll be sending something and hopefully, Brock pulls through and can remember this Halloween for years to come. Even just a card can go a long way.
